And what’s this “hang up” business, anyway? Hang it up on what?

On the bracket that the Handset rests the Ear Piece and makes the contacts that disconnects the Call. (Wall mount phones)

Or the Saddle of a Desktop Phone.

Those old Phones were tough too, You could hammer in a 16 Penny Nail with the Handset and it would still work.
